*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DAILY _DEVOTIONAL_ BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: WEDNESDAY 1ST JANUARY, 2020*
*TOPIC: PREPARE TO WIN!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: LUKE 4:1-15*
*Welcome to this wonderful year of ELEVATION! It’s a victory principle to begin the year with SEEKING THE LORD just as the LORD began His earthly public ministry by BEING LED OF THE SPIRIT to FAST, PRAY and be tempted!
Temptation was added to the prayer and fasting in order to COMPLETELY PREPARE HIM for His role as THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN! Beginning the year with great expectations of winning over life’s challenges this year is great,* but it’s not the will to win that matters-everyone has that! It’s the will to prepare to win that matters! YOU MUST PREPARE TO WIN!
You do this by secluding yourself at the beginning of the year like this just as the LORD did! You prepare by fasting and prayers! You prepare by denying yourself a full social life! SCALE DOWN!
*Truly, pain is sometimes agonizing! But it is temporary! It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If you quit however, it lasts forever! In life, if you fail to prepare, you’re prepared to fail.* Michael Jordan noted this: “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
God is determined to move you from EXPECTATION to ELEVATION this year! That was what He told me! You may have had a bad last-year or maybe, your last year was your best in history! But hear this again: THE BEST IS YET TO COME! Vin Scully said: *“Good is not good when better is expected.”* Did you get that? THERE ARE BETTER AND GREATER things ahead! There are more testimonies ahead!
There are more new songs of celebration you will sing! There are more battles AND MORE ELEVATION STORIES ahead! *The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination!* Wear DETERMINATION as A ROBE in all you do this early year! Determine to fast again! Determine to get the “WAR AGAINST HAMAN – 15” booklet which contains the 21-day fasting prophetic prayers!
Determine to sow again! Determine to still be at the WORLD ANOINTING ELEVATION NIGHT again! Determine to still give out more copies of this devotional this month and beyond. In life, persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement! The principle is competing against yourself. It’s about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before! NEVER GIVE UP now!
Continuous effort, REFUSING TO STOP TRYING, is the key to unlocking your potential! Champions are champions because they keep playing until they get it right! *Start praying “PRAYERS JUST BEFORE ANY FASTING PROGRAMME” ON PAGE 108 OF “WAR AGAINST HAMAN- 15” from today! No more stories without results! This is your year of DIVINE ELEVATION! It will happen!*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take Song 1: When the morning comes…
1. In your own words, pray about today’s word as led now.
2. Thank God for the GIFT OF LIFE! Millions did not see this year!
3. Lord, thank you for this New Year! I move from the GOOD of the past to the BEST of tomorrow.
4. I receive GRACE to get the “WAR AGAINST HAMAN – 15” booklet which contains the 21-day FASTING PRAYER POINTS.
5. I receive GRACE to give out ODM copies to help others participate in this fasting programme in Jesus name.

*Song 1: When The Morning Comes*
1. Trials dark on ev’ry hand,
and we cannot understand
All the ways that God would lead us
To that blessed Promised Land;
But He’ll guide us with His eye,
and we’ll follow till we die;
We will understand it better by and by.
*Refrain:*
By and by when the morning comes,
When the saints of God are gathered home,
We will tell the story how we’ve overcome;
We will understand it better by and by.
2. Oft our cherished plans have failed,
disappointments have prevailed,
and we’ve wandered in the darkness,
Heavyhearted and alone;
But we’re trusting in the Lord,
and according to His Word,
We will understand it better by and by.
3. Temptations, hidden snares
often take us unawares.
And our hearts are made to bleed
for some thoughtless word or deed
And we wonder why the test
when we try to do our best,
We will understand it better by and by.
